Selling my Monty...

[RichardT]

Hey guys, just wanted to post a link to my sale thread here on Expo, I hate having to sell this rig, but I don't have much of a choice. All the details are in the post.

Monty sale thread

You say in your build thread the bumper cost $900 to build and we all know the winch can be had for $300, where are you getting "together worth just north of 2K" from?

And did you opt for the OME torsion bars or just the rear springs and shocks?

Quite simple really, $900 is what it cost me, not what its worth (which is why I said worth, and not cost....). He cut me a break because he was using my truck to prototype/ R&D and get all the measurements, so he held on to it for just over a week. He said that he would charge anyone else anywhere from around $1500 to maybe $1800 depending on what they might want added or removed from the bumper (also he quoted me around $800 to do the bumper, but there was more involved in getting it right than he had thought, and he couldn't raise the price much more without really going beyond his quote).

And did you opt for the OME torsion bars or just the rear springs and shocks?

I ended up staying with the stock torsion bars up front, I was in school, and didn't have the money to upgrade the front, it works well enough for my needs.
